A bullet was fired through the window of a child's bedroom the day after a family in fear moved back in, having been assured by Toronto officials that the apartment was safe.

Officers were called to a Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) building on Neptune Drive, near Bathurst Street and Highway 401, at approximately 2 a.m. on Tuesday.

Police said that a shot was fired, and that they recovered a shell casing upon investigation. The incident was the third shooting in four weeks at the same apartment.

The tenant told CTV Toronto's John Musselman that a bullet flew through her three-year-old's window just 45 centimetres above where the child was sleeping. The bullet broke through the glass, and became lodged in a closet door on the other side of the room, tenant Natasha Francis said.

Tuesday's shooting was just four days after officers were called to the same building for similar reports. Gunshots were reported at approximately 1:30 a.m. on Friday.

Francis, who also has a 16-year-old, said that her home was also shot at on Jan. 6. A bullet broke through her living room window as Francis lay on the couch, and another came through the window of her 8-year-old daughter's bedroom.

After the shooting, she left the home and stayed with a family member before moving temporarily to a shelter. Francis said her family moved back into the home on Monday, after TCHC officials said it was safe.

Less than a day after moving back home, the bullet smashed through her young son's window.

"I don't want to be here," she told CTV on Tuesday, as she showed Musselman the damage to her windows caused by the Tuesday shooting.

"I need answers, I need out."

The shootings are believed to be part of a gang turf war, Francis said. After the first shooting, she asked housing authorities to move her to another building, but she was told that TCHC had nowhere else for her family to stay.

TCHC has since said it has made relocating the family a top priority.

The investigation into the shootings on Neptune Drive is ongoing, and anyone with more information is asked to contact officers at 416-808-3200. Tips can also be left anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477 (TIPS).
